SANJEEV KUMAR SINGLA vs KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK LTD. — T.P.(Crl.) No. 30/2007

Case Summary: T.P.(Crl.) No. 000030/2007 On 01/09/2011, the Supreme Court heard Sanjeev Kumar Singla's transfer petition against Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. The Court found that the Registry had committed a serious procedural lapse by failing to comply with its February 9, 2007 order directing deposit of ₹65,000 in a fixed deposit account with UCO Bank. When the deposit came up for renewal in September 2007, the Registrar deviated from the judicial order without Court reference, citing Chief Justice guidelines instead. The Court held that while CJI guidelines must be followed, they cannot override specific judicial orders without Court approval, and warned such lapses should not be repeated.
